Weightless falls
Honeysuckle
Strangers
Strange this
Lights from pages
Paper thin thing
Protected by the naked eye

Pearly sunrise
Nearly worn
Kneeling like a supplicant

Darkened skin
Afraid to see
Radiate
Open lips
Keep smiling for me

Darkened skin
Afraid to see
Radiate
Open lips
Keep smiling for me

Weightless cool
Honeysuckle
Fair skin
Freckles
Uncut teeth
Tranquil eyes
Bite my lips
Bite my lips
Under your feet

    My Opinion

    (I'm not native in English and I didn't know the meaning of lyrics at first.)

    We don't know the real meaning and we can't know until Robert explains the real meaning. However the vast majority who love this song is a little bit asocial, depressif and strange in society. If you like the song, no problem. But if you loved and you've listened it over and over again like me, you got kinda spiritual, darksome, diabolical effects with the lyrics at first. When you get older in your real life, you will realize and you will say "These are not true. This song reflects my innocent mutiny against the life and it is "ironically peaceful". I was disturbed in prime of my life and I can't explain this." to oneself.

    I feel like that.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
